Sitting on the side line – I watched the hurler on the ditch
Jumping up and down like the dog with an irritating itch
Blood pressure rising – you could tell by the purple face
You could also tell for certain that his horse would lose the race.
People watching – an eye opening past time
See people ageing even before they reach their prime
How can a person get so agitated?
Hurling abuse at opposition players which is deemed to be totally X-rated.
Sitting ringside while two pugilists do battle
Listening intently to their groans as punches their bodies rattle
Suddenly, a voice over my shoulder hollers, go on knock his lights out
Does he ever think to take account of damage done? I really have grave doubt.
Sitting on the side line being the neutral, you observe –
And are educated in the art of people watching, which is not just a male preserve.

enjoyed your sharing, CJ, in fact felt as if I was there, experiencing every hurtled abuse. (I follow Manchester United, and they’re not doing too well at the mo, so the air is positively blue whilst I watch 😉 ) So It’s a good job I don’t watch …. myself eh? xPenx

Cheers Lady Pen, try being a life long Nottingham Forest fan. I am making an attempt to write a “poem” a day for NaPoWriMo2014, I have posted for day 1 & 2 but it appears they have got lost in the ether or someone is trying to tell me something but persist I will.

Do you have your copies to replace the ones that were obviously ‘eaten’ by the system and will they allow you to do that? Good luck.
